1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cayenne (optional for heat)

For the Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce:

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
½ cup peach preserves (or fresh peach purée)
¼ cup bourbon
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder

For the Sliders:

8-10 slider buns (brioche or Hawaiian rolls work best)
1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)

For the Slaw:

2 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
½ cup shredded carrots
¼ cup mayo
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Steps

Step 1

Prep & Cook the Pork
Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne. Place in a slow cooker on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours). If using an oven, bake at 300°F covered for 4-5 hours, until fork-tender.

Step 2

Make the Bourbon Peach BBQ Sauce
While the pork cooks, combine BBQ sauce, peach preserves, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.

Step 3

Shred & Sauce the Pork
Once the pork is done, shred it using two forks and toss with half of the bourbon peach BBQ sauce. Save the rest for drizzling on top!

Step 4

Make the Slaw
In a bowl, mix shredded cabbage, carrots, mayo, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.

Step 5

Assemble the Sliders
Toast the slider buns with a little butter. Pile on the pulled pork, drizzle with extra BBQ sauce, and top with slaw.

Step 6

Serve & Enjoy!
Serve warm with extra sauce on the side and watch them disappear!
